In the self deprecating two and a half minute speech, Winslet acknowledged it took her six takes to film her speech, after she realised she had a hole in her sweater on the fifth take. Ironic, given she won the award for her role as Aussie couturier Tilly Dunnage in Jocelyn Moorhouseâ€™s The Dressmaker.

She begrudgingly put on lipstick and described herself as â€œlameâ€ and â€œlazyâ€ for not making the trip to Sydney to the awards ceremony held on Dec 9. She said she did not expect to win as she believed the best actor nod should â€œgo to a localâ€.

While she gave serious thanks to cast and crew for her award, including co-star and best supporting actress winner Judy Davis, who she called â€œmore inspiring than I think I could have ever imagined or hoped you would beâ€, she positively gushed about co-star Liam Hemsworth.

â€œLovely Liam Hemsworth, I do have to mention him, even though he’s really, really famous and probably doesn’t need more people talking about how gorgeous he is,” said Winslet.

She added: “But I amÂ going to have to talk about him because he is really, really gorgeous and we were very lucky to have him.”

While Winsletâ€™sÂ DIY speech didnâ€™t make the broadcast cut, you can see the video below.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts said Tuesday that BAFTA-winning actress Kate Winslet will discuss her career at a special “BAFTA A Life in Pictures” event at the organizationâ€™s London headquarters next month.

The event will take place on Dec. 4.

The “BAFTA A Life in Pictures” series features onstage interviews with some of the film worldâ€™s leading talent. Among past speakers are Kenneth Branagh, Cate Blanchett, Todd Haynes, Ang Lee, Helen Mirren, Alan Rickman, Martin Scorsese, Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson.

Winslet has received seven BAFTA nominations, winning twice. She was awarded her first BAFTA in 1996 for her supporting role in Sense and Sensibility and a second in 2009 for her leading role in The Reader. Winslet was named British Artist of the Year at the BAFTA Britannia Awards in Los Angeles in 2007.

Winslet began her film career in 1994, starring in Heavenly Creatures. In 1997, she starred in Titanic. Her BAFTA-nominated roles include Iris (2002), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2005) and Finding Neverland (2005).

Winslet will next be seen starring in The Dressmaker with Liam Hemsworth and Hugo Weaving.

“I didn’t really know much about him,” admitsÂ Michael FassbenderÂ when asked about playing the title character in “Steve Jobs” (watch below). “I suppose the thing that really stuck with me was meeting people who knew him —Â John Sculley,Â Joanna Hoffman,Â Steve Wozniak,Â Andy HertzfeldÂ â€¦ You could see he was still very much present in their lives. Even if their relationships were difficult, there was a sadness and a love there for him.”

The film by Oscar champÂ Danny Boyle(“Slumdog Millionaire”) paints a complex portrait of the man as a brutal taskmaster with conflicting emotions about his family and his legacy. The actors credit the screenplay by Oscar winnerÂ Aaron Sorkin(“The Social Network”) as an essential but demanding part of the process.

RecallsÂ Kate Winslet, who plays Jobs’ marketing guruÂ Joanna Hoffman, “I have to be honest, it was terrifying. I remember all of us walking into the room on day one of rehearsal when you’re trying out your accent and hoping to God that everyone else isn’t looking at you and thinking, ‘She’s shit’. When we walked onto the set, we had to be that well-oiled machine, we had to be ready to go, we had to have Sorkin-ese in our back pockets.”

That difficulty wasn’t lost on Sorkin. “Each of them, at at least one point in the movie, has a long list of things to say. I went over toÂ JeffÂ [Daniels] and I said, ‘Michael’s a really big Irish guy. I think he’s going to beat me up.’ And Jeff, who had been doing this for three years with ‘The Newsroom’ stared at me and said, ‘I’mÂ a really big Irish guy, and I’m going to beat you up.'”

“Steve Jobs” opens Friday (Oct. 9) in limited release with a nationwide roll-out to follow on October 23.

Kate Winslet, Emma Stone and Olivia Colman have joined the cast of Yorgos Lanthimosâ€™ upcoming period drama â€˜The Favouriteâ€™, which will be once again produced by Element Pictures.

This is Element Pictures second collaboration with Lanthimos, with the critically acclaimed â€˜The Lobsterâ€™ scooping the Jury Prize at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.

Kate Winslet is an English actress that has been nominated for six Academy awards in total winning in 2009 for her performance in â€˜The Readerâ€™. Emma Stone has been making a name for herself over the past couple of years with performances in films such as â€˜The Helpâ€™ and â€˜Gangster Squadâ€™ and she garnered Oscar and Golden Globe nominations this year for her supporting role in Best Picture Oscar winner â€˜Birdmanâ€™. Olivia Colman is well known to British audiences for her roles in â€˜Broadchurchâ€™ and â€˜Peep Showâ€™ and she has won two BAFTA Awards for her television work thus far.

â€˜The Favouriteâ€™ takes place at the end of the 17th century and follows the political machinations behind the scenes during the reign of Queen Anne, the last monarch of the House of Stuarts.

The Script was written by Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara, with shooting due to start in Spring 2016.
